A CAN to Rev. f.. A. Bradley.

Rev. E. A. Bradley. who has been rector OF
Christ Church during the last sixteen years, has
received a call to St. Luke's Episcopal Church,
Clinton avenue, Brooklyn. Mr.. Bradley was
informed several weeks ago, by Bishop Knicker-
hacker, that a corpmittee had been appointed by
the Brooklyn church to canvass his eligibility.
Day before yesterday he received notification by
telegraph that the parish had formally extended
the call to him. and he expects that the official
notification will reach him o-day. Mr.. Bradley
hesltates to say whether or not he will accept
the cali, but the impression is that he will. His
relations with Christ Church during the long
time in which he has been its rector have been
in all respects uniformly pleasant. ST. Luke's
Church. however, has the largest parish in
Brooklyn and offers an enlarged field of useful
ness and for the latter reason he may accept
the call
